Hi everyone, my name is Adonis and I'm up for adoption here at Helping Paws Animal Shelter. I went into foster after being only 2 days old. Nobody knows why exactly but my mom wasn't taking care of me. My mom, Lyra, is young herself so maybe she had too many of us to care for. My foster mom (fm) was bottling feeding me up until I was able to eat on my own. I was a good pup and once I was more mobile I would put myself to bed in my pen when I got tired. I grew up with two dogs in my foster home. I loved playing with the smaller one. Cuddle time was great since I had humans and dogs to do that with. I would play independently and with the other dogs. I do love to give kisses. I was reunited with my siblings at about 6 weeks. It's now time to find my forever home.
If you're interested in seeing me, please contact the shelter to schedule an appointment.
